Ideas for Modeling Competion #7

[Xatoga]

So the last one ended early November. And I don't see anything here about a new one being planned yet, so I've barged in unwelcomed, put a gun to your collective heads, and said 'Think up some ideas, or else!'

I think some fun themes we haven't used could be:

Demonic
Elven
Jungle-related
Footsoldiers of any kind/race
Icecrown Units
Critters


Now it's your turn. Ideas! Now!

 

[Wolverabid]

The current modeling competition is Special Effect Competition #1!

Chriz. is busy hosting that one. Look for another modeling contest to begin soon, based on staff recommendations and input in this thread.

[off-topic] ~ Thread renamed.

 

[donut3.5]

GF or I could host one in Chriz.'s place.

[Wolverabid]

donut3.5 is hereby appointed as host and judge for Modeling Competition #7.

Let's hear all the ideas gang! In the end, donut will decide.

My two cents goes for wards.

 

[donut3.5]

Well, alright then. I'll look at previous contests and figure out some ideas, then see which one people are interested in the most.
EDIT: Some ideas:
Elemental
Siege Weapon (catapult, battering ram, etc)
Futuristic
Icecrown/Northerend
Wards (as suggested by Wolv)
Fodder unit (weak basic unit for a race)
Chimera (two or more creatures into one being)
--donut3.5--

 

[madcat2]

Well i can't model for crap but i vote for Icecrown/Northerend since there is a skinning contest going on using the same theme .

 

[donut3.5]

Which is sort of what I was trying to avoid, but if its popular enough I'll do it.
--donut3.5--

 

[madcat2]

Future would be cool too since people are always requesting marines and etc.

 

[donut3.5]

List updated:
Wards (as suggested by Wolv)
Fodder unit (weak basic unit for a race)
Chimera (two or more creatures into one being)
--donut3.5--

 

[LiOneSS]

i suggest northrend/icecrown doodads pack!

 

[Mechanical Man]

Hmm, I would rather see doodad pack of any tileset, not just one themed.

I obviously vote for siege weapons (doh!), although foot soldiers or any/specific race (or specific profession) would not be a bad idea.

and i vote for siege weapons too

 

[donut3.5]

Doodads have already be done (technically it was a neutral building, but many did doodad packs)

[Rao Dao Zao]

I vote for something awesome.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

What a contest replicating characters/doodads from some cool game of the past. Could be fun to see who could create the coolest looking characters from Grim Fandango or some other great game of the past.

 

[Dionesiist]

Chimera for the win...

 

[anetherond]

Siege Weapon, I think it would be nice.

 

[donut3.5]

I like raging's idea of units from another game, such as AoE or such. However, Siege Engines is seeming like a much desired theme, if this continues I'll go with that.
--donut3.5--

 

[Xatoga]

I think siege would be a fun idea. It could incorporate fodder units, IE catapults that launch footmen, or futuristic stuff, or any race at all really. Heck, you could probably fit a favorite oldschool game unit into it easy enough, like make a mobile Bullet Bill cannon or something.

I vote Siege.

ELEMENTAL... NOW!!!

 

[HappyTauren]

SIEGE NOW!!!! I think it is fun and easy to animate, plus there are not many siege units around.

 

[donut3.5]

I think the vote is fairly unanimous... look for a competition thread within the next few days!
--donut3.5--

 

[BlinkBoy]

Taurens!
oh wait I forgot that I hate them.

Elementals!!!, no wait.

Siege for the winners! It would be very interesting.

 

[TDR]

siege weapons sounds awesome!

 

[Kofi_Banan]

siege weapons i say!

 

[DesKaladA]

What a contest replicating characters/doodads from some cool game of the past. Could be fun to see who could create the coolest looking characters from Grim Fandango or some other great game of the past.

ya why not it be a 16 bit doodad pack

 

[LiOneSS]

siege weapons... GREAT!!
i have another idea... let it b e a paired modeling contest!

 

[Pyritie]

Elementals for the win. Siege weapons don't give you much freedom of creativity.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I'd vote for Elementals, but it would appear this contest is decided. And,

[15-34-07]

Rao Dao Zao: Paired modelling would be lol.

 

[TDR]

Elementals for the win. Siege weapons don't give you much freedom of creativity.

are you kidding? You can do something from a rock to an ultra-uber-mega robo siege destroyer of doom.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Elementals for the win. Siege weapons don't give you much freedom of creativity.

Then make an elemental siege weapon.

Siege Weapon do sound interesting.

 

[Pyritie]

Then make an elemental siege weapon.

I think we already have like 3 people doing that after Shados suggested it in the chat room a few hours ago.

 

[Elenai]

Hmmmn...Siegeweapon. My skills are famished, and require a new challenge...This would be perfect for the task.

 

[Wolverabid]

I think the vote is fairly unanimous... look for a competition thread within the next few days!
